Gold price chart, January 19 to 26, 2026.

The yellow metal’s latest rise adds to an ongoing historic run.

After starting 2025 around US$2,640, gold had risen to the US$3,200 level by April. It stayed within a fairly flat range until the end of August, when it launched higher once again, breaking US$4,300 in mid-October.

The price of gold took a breather following that move, even falling briefly below US$4,000; however, its retracement was neither as steep nor as long as many market watchers expected it to be.

Gold began gaining steam again in mid-November, and took off again in earnest at the end of 2025.

In 2026, precious metals have continued to benefit from geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty. Expectations of interest rate cuts after US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s term ends later this year have provided support too. Trump’s feud with the Fed over rates took an eyebrow-raising turn on January 9, when the US Department of Justice served the Fed with grand jury subpoenas targeting Powell with a criminal indictment.

Last week, gold climbed higher as investors moved out of global stocks after Trump said over the weekend that European nations opposing his bid to acquire Greenland could face tariffs of up to 25 percent.

The nations targeted included France, Germany, the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Finland. The news prompted fears of a full-blown US-Europe trade war, a weaker US dollar, higher inflation and a worsening outlook for the global economy. There were even concerns that the conflict over Greenland could seriously weaken or dismantle the NATO alliance. Gold is traditionally used as a hedge against such risks.

Greenland’s key geographic position in the Arctic has long been coveted by the US as a necessary strategic asset in its geopolitical struggle with Russia and China. “China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it,” Trump wrote on January 17 on his social media platform Truth Social. “Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that!”

‘As soon as the probability of escalation increases, defensive capital tends to move preemptively, rather than waiting for tangible impacts to materialize in economic data. In this context, gold functions as a portfolio risk-balancing asset.’

European leaders responded with vows that they would not be blackmailed into allowing Trump to take Greenland, and said they were preparing counter measures to the president’s tariffs.

Perhaps the pressure worked, as Trump made a point of stating in his January 21 Davos speech: ‘I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.’

Elsewhere in the precious metals space, platinum rose to record highs on Monday, reaching US$2,933 per ounce. Palladium is also on a tear, soaring as high as US$2,188 per ounce, although it remains well below its record US$3,440 per ounce set in March 2022.

Investor Insight

New Found Gold is an emerging Canadian gold producer with a multi-asset portfolio in Newfoundland and Labrador, anchored by the high-grade, district-scale Queensway project and complemented by the Hammerdown operation and permitted processing infrastructure at Pine Cove and Nugget Pond. New Found Gold offers a combination of near-term cash flow potential and long-term, district-scale growth.

Overview

New Found Gold (TSXV:NFG,NYSE:NFGC) is an emerging Canadian gold producer with assets located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The company’s portfolio includes its flagship Queensway gold project, as well as the Hammerdown operation, Pine Cove mill and Nugget Pond hydrometallurgical gold plant.

In 2025, New Found Gold refreshed its board of directors and management team, adding a group of experienced mine builders and operators to support the company’s transition from exploration to production, and build off its established exploration expertise. The reconstituted board is led by chairman Paul Andre Huet and includes seasoned mining executives and capital markets specialists.

In November 2025, New Found Gold completed the acquisition of Maritime Resources, creating a diversified gold company with both development and producing assets in a top-tier jurisdiction. The transaction brought together two high-quality gold projects — Queensway and Hammerdown — and added permitted processing infrastructure, positioning the company to pursue a clear path to production and cash flow.

The company is currently focused on ramping up Hammerdown safely and efficiently through 2026, while advancing Queensway through engineering, permitting and project finance toward a targeted Phase 1 start-up in H2/2027. This multi-asset approach is intended to support near-term cash flow potential while maintaining meaningful exploration and development upside through Queensway’s large, high-grade gold system.

At Queensway, New Found Gold has consolidated a district-scale land position and continues to advance technical work including infill drilling, grade control drilling, geotechnical studies, metallurgical testwork, environmental baseline studies and broader exploration programs. In parallel, the company has engaged Cutfield Freeman as project finance advisor to help evaluate and select an optimal financing package for Queensway Phase 1 initial capital.

Company Highlights

• District-scale land package at Queensway totaling 230,225 hectares and covering more than 110 kilometres of strike along two major fault zones
• Hammerdown operation commenced production with a first gold pour in November 2025 and is targeted to ramp up to commercial/steady-state production through 2026
• Ownership of the Pine Cove operation (fully permitted mill and tailings facility) and Nugget Pond hydrometallurgical gold plant, providing processing infrastructure and optionality to support both Hammerdown and Queensway Phase 1
• Strengthened management team and refreshed board led by chairman Paul Andre Huet, with a solid shareholder base including cornerstone investor Eric Sprott

Key Projects

Queensway Gold Project

The 100 percent owned Queensway gold project is New Found Gold’s flagship asset and the primary driver of long-term value creation. Located in central Newfoundland, Queensway spans 230,225 hectares and covers more than 110 kilometres of strike along the Appleton and JBP fault zones, highlighting its district-scale exploration potential.

In 2025, New Found Gold published its initial MRE for Queensway, outlining 18 Mt grading 2.40 grams per ton (g/t) gold for 1.39 Moz (indicated), with an additional 10.7 Mt grading 1.77 g/t gold for 0.61 Moz (inferred), establishing a solid mineral resource base to underpin development studies.

In July 2025, New Found Gold completed a PEA for Queensway showing total production of approximately 1.5 Moz over a 15-year mine life and robust base-case economics, including after-tax NPV5 percent of C$743 million and after-tax IRR of 56.3 percent at US$2,500/oz gold, with life-of-mine AISC of US$1,256/oz, and Phase 1 initial capital of approximately C$155 million. The PEA outlines a phased development strategy designed to accelerate the project’s path to production, with Phase 1 focused on high-grade, near-surface mineralization from the Appleton Fault Zone (AFZ) Core and a low-capital processing approach leveraging off-site milling and tailings capacity (including the company’s permitted Pine Cove facility).

The AFZ Core hosts multiple high-grade gold zones, including Keats, Iceberg, Keats West, Lotto and Monte Carlo, which form the foundation of the PEA mine plan. Ongoing infill drilling, grade control drilling, excavation and geotechnical programs are being carried out to support mine planning, improve resource confidence, and advance future mineral resource updates. In 2025, the company completed more than 74,000 metres of diamond drilling, primarily focused on resource definition and pre-development work, alongside continued near-surface excavation, mapping and channel sampling in key zones.

Beyond the current mine plan, continued drilling along strike and at depth across Queensway has delivered new discoveries, highlighting the project’s potential for resource growth beyond the initial PEA scope. Notably, exploration success at targets outside the AFZ Core — including the Dropkick zone — underscores the broader camp-scale potential across the district-scale land package.

Hammerdown Operation

The Hammerdown operation is a high-grade gold project that New Found Gold is advancing through production ramp-up. Following the Maritime acquisition, Hammerdown achieved a first gold pour in November 2025 and is targeted to ramp up to commercial/steady-state production later in 2026.

Hammerdown benefits from on-island processing infrastructure and regional synergies, providing the company flexibility to pursue a production-focused strategy alongside ongoing development at Queensway. Hammerdown is the first step in establishing New Found Gold as a new Canadian gold producer.

Pine Cove Operation and Nugget Pond Hydrometallurgical Gold Plant

New Found Gold also owns the Pine Cove operation, which includes a fully permitted mill and tailings facility, as well as the Nugget Pond hydrometallurgical gold plant. These assets provide the company with permitted processing infrastructure in Newfoundland and Labrador and support operational flexibility as Hammerdown ramps up and Queensway advances toward a phased production strategy.

Top Canadian mining stocks this week

How did mining stocks perform against this backdrop?

Take a look at this week’s five best-performing Canadian mining stocks below.

Stocks data for this article was retrieved at 4:00 p.m. EST on Friday using TradingView’s stock screener. Only companies trading on the TSX, TSXV and CSE with market caps greater than C$10 million are included. Mineral companies within the non-energy minerals, energy minerals, process industry and producer manufacturing sectors were considered.

1. Euro Manganese (TSXV:EMN)

Weekly gain: 134.29 percent
Market cap: C$23.56 million
Share price: C$0.41

Euro Manganese is a manganese development company working to advance its Chvaletice waste recycling project. The operation is focused on extracting manganese from tailings that are part of a decommissioned mine site near Prague, Czechia. As part of the project’s scope, the company says it will carry out remediation and reclamation work to bring the site into compliance with environmental regulations.

A 2022 feasibility study for the Chvaletice project indicates that it will produce 48,000 metric tons of manganese per year and is expected to have a project life of 25 years. In the study, the company reports a post-tax net present value of US$1.3 billion with an internal rate of return of 22 percent and a payback period of 4 years.

Shares in Euro Manganese were up this week, but the company has not released news since January 13, when it announced that John Webster tendered his resignation from the company’s board of directors.

Euro noted on Friday that it was unaware of any material change in its operations that could have caused the price rise.

2. Kingfisher Metals (TSXV:KFR)

Weekly gain: 106.35 percent
Market cap: C$38.24 million
Share price: C$0.65

Kingfisher Metals is an exploration company focused on its HWY 37 project located in British Columbia, Canada.

The property, located in BC’s Golden Triangle, covers 933 square kilometers and hosts several porphyry and epithermal copper and gold deposits, including Hank and Williams, which were identified during historical exploration of the site.

On January 13, the company announced additional results from its 2025 exploration and drill program at HWY 37, releasing assays for three drill holes at the Williams deposit, two of which some of Williams’ longest copper intercepts yet. Kingfisher highlighted one hole, with grades of 0.47 percent copper equivalent over 889.35 meters, starting 3.65 meters from surface, which also included an interval of 1.16 percent copper equivalent over 40 meters.

Then on Thursday (January 22), Kingfisher reported that it had received the final results from the program, this time in the form of a deep drill hole at the Hank epithermal gold-silver system. While the hole intersected Hank’s typical mineralisation in the upper half of the hole, starting at 534 meters it encountered a 425 meter interval grading 0.4 percent copper equivalent.

The company said this represented a blind discovery, with no previous porphyry copper and gold mineralization being reported at Hank.

“The final hole of the 2025 program validates our long-standing belief that the shallow Hank Au-Ag epithermal mineralization is driven by a large porphyry Cu-Au system,” said Kingfisher CEO Dustin Perry.

3. Core Critical Metals (TSXV:CCMC)

Weekly gain: 94.68 percent
Market cap: C$15.04 million
Share price: C$1.83

Core Critical Metals is an exploration company working on its Timmins nickel project in Ontario, Canada. The company was previously known as Xander Resources but announced in August that it was changing its name to Core Critical Metals.

The project holds a strategic position, with two properties totaling 393 claims located west along trend from Canada Nickel Company’s (TSXV:CNC,OTCQX:CNIKF) Crawford property and adjacent to Canada Nickel’s Reid discovery.

On Monday, Core Critical Minerals issued a release congratulating Canada Nickel on the success of Crawford’s development. It also noted Crawford’s inclusion for the second tranche of projects from the Government of Canada’s Major Project Office in November 2025, and the more recent designation under Ontario’s One Project, One Process framework on January 13.

Additionally, the company announced on January 15 that it had issued 1.24 million common shares to settle a C$400,000 exploration debt with the vendor of a property option agreement for the CNC West property. It followed this news the next day when it announced a two-for-one stock split on January 16.

4. GoldHaven Resources (CSE:GOH)

Weekly gain: 94.44 percent
Market cap: C$10.3 million
Share price: C$0.35

GoldHaven Resource is an exploration and development company advancing projects in British Columbia and Brazil.

Its most recent focus has been on its Magno project in BC’s Cassiar mining district. The property consists of 53 mineral claims covering 36,814.16 hectares and borders mineral claims held by Cassiar Gold (TSXV:GLDC,OTCQX:CGLCF) and Coeur Mining (NYSE:CDE).

The site hosts silver, lead and gold mineralization at Magno North, with additional quantities of tin, indium and gallium. Porphyry targets at Magno West have shown mineralization with copper and molybdenum.

Since the start of the year, the company has released a trio of updates from Magno.

The first came on January 6, when it announced that preliminary assays from surface exploration confirmed the presence of silver, lead, zinc, tungsten and critical minerals across multiple zones at the property. The release highlighted grades of up to 2,370 grams per metric ton silver, 19.25 percent zinc, 6,550 parts per million (ppm) tungsten and 334 ppm indium.

The second release came on January 14, providing additional information on its tungsten results, noting that exploration confirmed anomalous tungsten mineralization at the historical Kuhn and Dead Goat showings, and found a new tungsten zone at Vines Lake.

The most recent release came on Thursday when GoldHaven reported that indium grades at the site show it is a ‘meaningful critical mineral component of the Magno system.’ These elevated grades were found to be restricted to the Magno and D Zones, as well as the Kuhn and Dead Goat showings.

5. Ascot Resources (TSX:AOT)

Weekly gain: 91.21 percent
Market cap: C$38.24 million
Share price: C$1.74

Ascot Resources is a Canadian gold exploration and development company focused on the negotiating the restart of mining operations at its Premier gold project, and on its Red Mountain gold project.

The site is located within the Golden Triangle area of Northern British Columbia, and hosts the Premier, Silver Coin and Big Missouri deposits, as well as one of only three mills in the region.

Production at the mine began in April 2024, but operations were placed on care and maintenance in September 2024. At the time, the company said it had fallen behind schedule in developing the mine and did not have enough material to feed the mill.

In an update from April 2025, the company said it was anticipating the mine would restart in early August at an initial rate of 1,250 metric tons per day. However, on June 25, Ascot announced that the mine would not restart as negotiations with mining contractor Procon Mining regarding the cost of mining services had stalled.

On October 23, the company announced that the mine would remain on care and maintenance and that it had engaged Fiore Management to assist with restructuring, refinancing and enhancing the leadership team at Ascot.

Since that time, the company has launched a fundraising effort, with the most recent news on December 31, when it announced it had closed the first tranche of a private placement raising C$809.1 million.

In that release, President and CEO Robert McLeod stated that further detailed updates on Ascot’s plans, as well a proposed rebrand, would be coming in the weeks ahead. ‘We believe the rapid development of the high-grade, underground bulk-mineable Red Mountain Project is the key to the successful commissioning and operation of a centralized mill to process material from the multiple deposits in the Golden Triangle.”
